Clownfish trouble HELP

Ok, so I recently got a true percula a week from today, was reading some threads and saw that in order to pair they should both be jueveniles. Needless to say I went back today picked up a second little guy and set him up in his new home after setting him free he attacked the other clown and hes smaller than the other one... Not knowing what to do I put him in a little quarentine bin with the slits in the sides so they cant get at one another, what do I do? I thought if i leave them apart that maybe they will get used to one another... I also have a sebae anemone(Heteractis crispa) which the clown has yet to host... any suggestions would be appreciated...

Re: Clownfish trouble HELP

Just wondering how long you left the new fish in the tank before removing it? Maybe it was just trying to scare the other fish and establish it's territory. You could try moving around your rock or decorations so that both of the fish have to establish new territories when you put the new fish back in your tank. I am interested to know how it turns out because I also have one percula clown and plan on getting another once my tank fully cycles. It's only been about a month and a half and I have since learned that I added my livestock too quickly. I also have a yellowtail damsel and it looks like he tries to "attack" the clown but he's really just scaring him. He has never bitten the clown or hurt him, just ran at him and nudged with his nose.
